Oops... I somehow hit a button that posted my article. ...Anyway...When we check out our worst fears beforehand with ourselves and others who will be honest with us, we often discover that we are making a mountain out of a molehill. And certainly, as you say, if the reality testing shows that our worst fears were not justified, then we often find that the fears are weakened. Relative to your question about kids, see my post above to Emily. And read Alan's comment below for a great explanation of the healing that can occur through this and other types of self-talk. Ken
